I send you my sympathy and my hope that you will find comfort in the memories you have with your mother and dad. You are very young to lose your parents and I am sad about that. Margaret must have been a remarkable woman to have such lively, smart, interesting children. You are in my heart.

Sorry to hear of Margaret passing.
A great friend and co-worker !!!
There is a special place in my heart for Margaret, a remarkable woman – I worked with her for so many years during our times at a company called E&E, and so sad to see her pass on, but to a better place……….. Bruce
My condolences to Margaret’s family- She was always willing to help me with computer and my phone issues at Brandon Woods. I surely will miss her. God blessed us with such a special and beautiful person.
Patti, Tracy and Family,

Sorry for your loss. Sending love and blessings to all.
To all Margaret’s family – she was such a lovely person, always had a smile on face, always willing to help out in any situation, and loved her family dearly. She was such a vital part to Brandon Woods and she will surely be missed. Thoughts and prayers to all the family.
Prayers to Margaret’s family! I am still in shock! Margaret has been my friend for over 26 years. Over the years we have shared many life experiences! She had the sweetest. And kindest spirit and was such an amazing lady! We loved to talk about her boys and grandkids, her many travel and military reunion trips with Joe. Her family and Joes family in Nebraska, and her time at E&E and Brandon Woods. I am heartbroken but I know she is at peace and with Joe and Caleb! She just sent me a message two weeks ago- I am traveling and will miss the service, but take great comfort in knowing I will see her again one day in heaven!
Patti, Tracy and Family,
Our hearts and thoughts and sympathies go out to you at this time of loss.
